Hi list

Do you know whether there is a possibility to reject invalid return
paths in postfix?

The problem is, that we get spam with a header-line like the following
and would like to reject those messages:
Return-Path:<MAILER-DEAMON>

AFAIK the return-path above is invalid, as there is only the following
formats allowed:
Return-Path:<john....@example.org>
Return-Path:<>

As I did not find a option in postfix to reject those mails, i could
write a header check with pcre. But before I will do this, I'd like to
verify whether there is really no option in postfix to set this?

You can use reject_non_fqdn_sender in your smtpd_*_restrictions.
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#reject_non_fqdn_sender

You can use reject_unverified_sender, but note that some admins will consider this abuse. If you use it, best applied selectively. Here's an example:
